When Orban and Shirley Haas passed away, they left behind more than memories — they left a profound and enduring legacy for their community through the Community Foundation of Dickinson County. Their visionary generosity has become a testament to the power of keeping local money local. Since their legacy gift was entrusted to the Foundation, more than $300,000 has been granted to the organizations they cared about most: Dickinson County Home Health & Hospice and the Abilene Public Library. These funds have not only supported these vital organizations but have allowed them to expand their operations and services, creating a ripple effect of positive impact across Abilene and Dickinson County.
